Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses at the Dedication of the Statue of Hon. Richard D. Hubbard: On the Capitol Grounds at Hartford, June 9, 1890 The Honorable Richard Dudley Hubbard died at his home in Hartford, February 28, 1884. His eminent qualities of mind and heart and the high esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens caused many suggestions to be made in respect to a statue or some other fitting public memorial of him. Nothing definite, however, toward this end was accomplished until after the death of George D. Sargeant in 1886. Mr. Sargeant was a resident of Hartford, a gentleman of ample means, of much culture, and a warm friend of Governor Hubbard. By his will he bequeathed to his executors, Alvan P. Hyde and John R. Redfield, Esquires, the sum of $5,000, to be by them used, together with such additions as might be made thereto, in the erection of a suitable statue of Governor Hubbard, either in the Capitol building, on the Capitol grounds, or on Bushnell Park, as might be deemed most advisable. It was thought most fitting that the statue be placed on the Capitol grounds, and at the January session, 1887, of the General Assembly, a resolution was passed appointing a commission consisting of the Governor, the Comptroller, and the Honorables Oliver Hoyt of Stamford, Jeremiah Halsey of Norwich, and Henry C. Robinson of Hartford, to select a suitable location for the same. These gentlemen decided upon the conspicuous site near the southeast corner of the grounds, a short distance from the Capitol building, where the statue now stands.
